# CSS Problem with Countdown Display

 * Hi Frank,
 * Your plugin is my new favorite maintenance mode plugin for WordPress! It has 
   a lot of very nice features and options. I especially like the wide variety of
   CSS styles provided.
 * While trying out the CSS styles, I noticed a small problem with the countdown
   display. I can set a date and insert the `%1$s` code to display the countdown,
   but in CSS styles with a narrow column (The Sun, Monster, Chastely, Lego, and
   Chemistry), there isn’t enough room to display hours, minutes, seconds, _and 
   the rectangular block at the end_.
 * In my example, the plugin uses the `countdown_show3` class, which provides enough
   space for _two_ different units _and_ the rectangular block. Instead of displaying
   hours, minutes, and seconds, can you just display hours and minutes?
 * As another example, instead of displaying days, hours, minutes, and seconds, 
   can you just display days and hours? We don’t need more than two kinds of units
   for the countdown. Maintenance schedules are never that precise. 🙂
 * Can you please provide a solution to this problem in a future release?
 * Thanks for a great plugin,
 * Fred Chapman

 * P.S. It would be even better if the user could select the number of different
   units to display in the countdown. Is that easy to do?

 * I have add this wish to my issue list on the plugin dev repo.
    Current I don’t
   have a solution, maybe I will include this in one of the next feature release.
